Abstract (en)

A system and a method for monitoring an expansion vessel (10) on a closed liquid circulation system are disclosed herein. The system comprises a first flow meter (43) connected to a first section of the piping terminating to the expansion vessel (10), configured to measure a flow to/from the expansion vessel (10); a first pressure sensor (61) connected to the closed liquid circulation system, configured to measure an internal pressure of the closed liquid circulation system; a controller (20) configured to receive flow information from the first flow meter (43) and pressure information from the first pressure sensor (61); wherein the controller (20) is configured to compare the internal pressure of the closed liquid circulation system and the flow information to defined limits; and indicate a malfunction if the defined limits are exceeded.
